About

State Park

Flagg Mountain is the southernmost Appalachian peak over 1,000 feet, located near Weogufka, Alabama, in Coosa County, and contains a CCC-built lookout tower and cabins. Weogufka State Forest consists of 240 acres of upland hardwood on Flagg Mountain. It is owned by the State of Alabama and Managed by the Alabama Forestry Commission (see map).

The property is open to the public. It contains many hiking trails maintained by the Alabama Hiking Trail Society. The Pinhoti Trail’s southern terminus ends on Flagg Mountain. (The Pinhoti Trail extends northward to Springer Mountain in Georgia, where the Appalachian Trail begins.)

Currently, there is a full-time caretaker on the property. Weogufka State Forest is open to the public. Overnight camping and social events are available, but reservations must be through the caretaker in advance. Please text 256-223-3990.

Currently there are limited bathroom facilities. Efforts are underway to improve the facilities. This includes reopening the tower stairs, building a bathhouse, and improving the cabins.

Small backcountry site

This is a small area for backcountry camping in the Weogufka State Forest. You can park fairly close to the site and there is enough space for a couple of hammocks or a single tent. There are better sites in the area but this one is easy to access and is already established. The hiking in the area is amazing.
